Liu He was also very busy today, running up and down constantly, fearing he hadn't done enough.
He inspected all the cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and fruits placed on the table, then went to the back kitchen to give some instructions.
Twenty tables weren't many. The cold dishes were all prepared and just waiting for the firecrackers to signal the serving.
Excluding the seven tables of drivers helping out, there were two tables for the bride and her maternal family.
The rest were friends and relatives of Guo Xuyang and Guo Xuhui.
At 11:58 AM, most of the guests had arrived.
Liu He came over to ask Guo Xuyang if it was time to set off firecrackers and serve the dishes.
After discussing with Guo Xuhui and Cheng Xiuping, Guo Xuyang asked Pi Xiaoqian to go to the entrance to set off the firecrackers.
As the firecrackers and fireworks went off, the lively wedding banquet began.
The table accompanying Xiao Li included Lin Ziqi, Xu Lili, Lin Zixuan, and a few bridesmaids, while the rest were the sales champions from the 4S shop's last quarter.
Everyone was familiar with each other, and there wasn't a single stranger, so the conversation was very harmonious.
Xiao Mingliang, his uncle, and his family relatives were accompanied by Wu Youzhi, Pi Xiaoqian, Lü Liang, and Wang Yibo.
"Brother, your speaking skills are really good," Xiao Mingliang said to Wang Yibo.
"Thank you for the compliment, brother. I learned it by following President Guo."
Wang Yibo was naturally flattering Guo Xuhui.
"Brother, do you still need people at your shop? Can I come and work with you?"
"Well, well, you'll have to ask your brother-in-law when we get back. Or, why don't you ask your sister?"
"My sister hasn't agreed yet. She also said she wanted to discuss it with your brother-in-law."
"Ask your brother-in-law when he comes over later. It should be fine."
Actually, it wasn't impossible to work at the shop. Shops like this wouldn't mind adding one more person; they all depended on performance.
The base salary was only enough to cover daily expenses. To live a life superior to others, one had to work hard and achieve results.
Just like Xu Lili, her performance was more than ten times that of an ordinary sales representative, and her rewards were also the best.
The main point was that this 4S shop did not belong to Guo Xuhui. Although he could decide who stayed and who went, the final decision-making power still rested with Guo Xuyang.
Sometimes it was easy to invite a guest but difficult to send them away. Whoever came to work was fine, but it was another matter to dismiss them later.
After all, they were relatives. Dismissing them would not look good and could easily cause conflict among relatives.
Therefore, Wang Yibo spoke very subtly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Wu Youzhi quickly asked, "What skills do you have, brother?"
"I finished school early. I worked with people from the village in an electronics factory and also in a garment factory, all on assembly lines."
"Can you read circuit diagrams?"
"No."
"Have you worked in sales?"
"No. But I can learn."
"Hmm. Do you have a driver's license?"
"No. I've always wanted to learn but haven't had the time. I used to work in the factory and was exhausted every day, with no time or energy to learn."
"Why don't you sign up for a class first, get your driver's license, and then we'll talk.
In car sales, you not only need to understand relevant car knowledge but also be able to drive.
Otherwise, how would you drive the car for the customer if they wanted to experience it?"
"As long as I get my driver's license, can I come and sell cars?" Xiao Mingliang asked.
"Getting a driver's license is just the first step. Only by obtaining a driver's license do you meet the most basic condition to enter a 4S shop to sell cars."
"Then, if I get my driver's license and you still don't let me into the shop, won't my driver's license be wasted?"
Wu Youzhi couldn't help but frown when he heard this and said, "In this society, being able to drive is the most basic skill. It's as common as eating and drinking.
Even if you can't buy a car now, you'll buy one sooner or later, because cars are now the most basic means of transportation.
Why is your brother-in-law's business doing so well?
It's because the market demand is huge now, and people prefer branded cars.
After all, these models of cars are safe and have low accident rates."
"The motorcade today is really long, must be several dozen cars, right?"
"The motorcade has a total of sixty-six cars, not including the photography vehicles. If you count those, it's over seventy."
"So many. If they all go to the village, they'll be impressed.
The cars your brother-in-law led today really impressed those people," Xiao Mingliang said happily.
"Who are those people you're referring to?" Pi Xiaoqian asked.
"My childhood friends. They said they had never seen so many luxury cars."
"The cars your brother-in-law sells are still considered noteworthy here. If you go to Kyoto or Shanghai, they won't stand out as much."
"This is already amazing. Brother, are you from Kyoto?" Xiao Mingliang asked Pi Xiaoqian.
"Yes. My household registration is in Kyoto, but my ancestral home is in Jiangnan."
"Are you also my sister's friend?"
"Your brother-in-law and I are both shareholders in the same company."
"Then you must be very rich? I heard company shareholders are all very wealthy."
"It's alright. Enough for daily expenses."
"Brother, I'll toast you. What do you do for a living?" Xiao Mingliang unconsciously used polite language.
"I run a small shop that specializes in selling jade."
"Selling jade?" Xiao Mingliang almost choked on Pi Xiaoqian's words.
"Yes. What's wrong?" Pi Xiaoqian was also puzzled, not understanding why Xiao Mingliang reacted so strongly.
"Then you must be extremely wealthy. I heard this morning that a necklace alone costs thirty million."
"Oh? Who told you that?" Pi Xiaoqian became interested when he heard that.
"I heard it from a young man." Xiao Mingliang felt a bit embarrassed to continue.
After all, stealing his sister's dowry was not a glorious thing.
"Hmm. The jade industry is indeed very profitable, but not everyone can make money from it.
Have you ever heard of 'one cut to poverty, one cut to wealth, one cut to rags'?
You don't have the capability for this yet. Don't think about getting rich overnight."
"I understand, brother."
As they were chatting, Guo Xuhui and Xiao Li, accompanied by Cheng Xiuping, Guo Xuyang, Li Minxi, Xiao Yun, Yu Er, and Liu He, came over to toast.
"Third Uncle, thank you for making this trip. Thank you!" Guo Xuhui raised his glass to toast Xiao Li's uncle.
"Nephew-in-law, I've really seen a lot today.
These drinks, these dishes, I've never even seen them before, let alone eaten them.
I won't say much else. I wish you two a more prosperous life in the future."
Uncle San said, tilting his head back and finishing the wine in his glass.
"Thank you, Uncle San."
"Uncle San, I'll toast you," Xiao Li said, raising her glass.
"Nieces, you've found a good family. Live well from now on. I wish you a lifelong happiness and eternal love."
"Thank you, Uncle San," Xiao Li said.
